Love, Love, Love!!!

Hi, I have been trying to get on here to get this card posted for a few days but i seem to get distracted with one thing or another!!

This card was initially made for the Just Magnolia and hAnglar Challenge which is Going Dotty. I decided to combine it with a valentines theme because there are so many "love" or "Valentines" challenges out there this week.

My hAnglar image is coloured in with Promarkers. She is so cute holding onto her heart! The spotty paper is from Claire Curds "the big one" paper pack that i have had for such a long time and still have not got through it all! I ran a running stitch up the length of ribbon and then pulled to gather it in. I decided to set the sentiment in between a few hearts which i glazed with Glossy Accents and sprinkled with Glamour Dust. The flowers, charms and gems are from my stash and the swirl under the flowers is cit from my story Book Cartridge

Here is th elong list of challenges i am entering this into this week!

Chocolate box!!

Good morning, i have bee trying to post this since last night...not sure if there was something up with blogger but it kept saying i couldnt upload photos because i needed the proper licence or something??

Anyway here all fine now. I decided to make a box to hold chocolates for the kids to give to my mum.

Its actually a slider box and the whole sleeve slides of and leaves the plain pink box. Worked out great and just as i planned.

The image is one of the hAnglar stamps i found trailing the net. She is lovely, i love these stamps so i am on a mission to get a lot more...so hard to get though. I coloured her in with Promarkers. On her heart i used glossy accents and glitter, as well as on her bows in her hair etc.

The flowers are handmade and the leaves/vines are from the potpourri cartridge. I have not used that cut before but its quite nice with the swirls on there too. 

The paper is a Bo Bunny one i think, dont quote me on that one! The ribbons down each side has been pleated by used a run of double sided tape and then just folded it in as i went. To be honest i thought it would be quicker than sewing it the gathering it up but it wasnt! The edges are punched with my MS punch.

Heres is a front on view.

The sentiment was a free one from Birds Cards. I just found this blog the other day and its fab, she has cutting files on there too! Lots of great stuff! 

Here is the challenges i am entering with this choc box;

New Arrival!

Hi, well i am on a role with making cards this week! I think i have had a post every day! 

The Lovely hAnglar Only Challenge this week is a recipe...3 flowers, 2 brads and 1 ribbon. My hAnglar baby is coloured using promarkers. He is too cute for words! The papers are from TPC Studio, Blips and Bleeps. The second layer was embossed using the Swiss Dots embossing folder and the layer with the ribbon and scalloped edge was embossed using my score-board to get nice straight embossed lines. As always my flowers were home-made and inked with distress ink along with the vine that was cut from my Cricut. The teddy charm was a last minute add on. Its was actually just a little felt bear that i found in my "baby bits and bobs" tub so thought i would use him as a charm! The sentiment was cut from my Cricut Wild Card cartridge and glazed over with Glossy Accents..(i cant make a card without using this stuff!!) The brads and ribbon are just from my stash.

Here is the challenges i am entering with this card.
